When I Export Java to a Jar File,
and I select, "SEAL THE JAR",
does this mean the code is secure?
i am not clear what this does.

What if I embed a password in the JAR?
(please, i don't want to get into a
discussion on passwords in the code)

thanks

:)

Please consult the documentation of the JAR tool command. It explains in
detail what sealing means.
Tip: it does not protect your passwords ;-)

Packages stored in JAR files can be optionally sealed so that the package
can enforce version consistency. Sealing a package within a JAR file means
that all classes defined in that package must be found in the same JAR file.
